Michele Bologna e4237f436b Remove clashing with 'ag' (the_silver_searcher)
This plugin define an alias named 'ag'. However, on Ubuntu systems, when you
install the_silver_searcher it is automatically installed as `/usr/bin/ag`.
This patch changed the alias from 'ag' (`sudo apt-get update`) to 'sag' to
avoid name clashing.
Other aliases are updated accordingly.

This plugin was created because the aliases in the debian plugin are inconsistent and hard to remember. Also this apt-priority detection that switched between apt-get and aptitude was dropped to keep it simpler. This plugin uses apt-get for everything but a few things that are only possible with aptitude I guess. Ubuntu does not have aptitude installed by default.
acs = Apt-Cache Search
acp = Apt-Cache Policy
sag = sudo Apt-Get
sagi = sudo Apt-Get Install
sagd = sudo Apt-Get Dselect-upgrade
By now you already can guess almost all aliases
There are two exeptions since ...
sagu = sudo Apt-Get Update - we have ...
sagug = sudo Apt-Get UpGrade - as the exeptional 4 letter alias for a single command.
afs = Apt-File Search --regexp - this has the regexp switch on without being represented in the alias, I guess this makes sense since the debian plugin has it, I never used that command.
Then there are the 2 other 4 letter aliases for combined commands, that are straight forward and easy to remember.
saguu = sudo Apt-Get Update && sudo apt-get Upgrade - better then adg or not?
sagud = sudo Apt-Get Update && sudo apt-get Dist-upgrade
For a full list aliases and the functions just watch the plugins code https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/master/plugins/ubuntu/ubuntu.plugin.zsh, look at the comments if you want to switch from the debian plugin. Ubuntu, Mint and & co users will like the new aar function to install packages from ppas with a single command.
